Energizer is recalling about 4,100 Large Power Indicator Lanterns because the installed lithium-ion batteries can overheat. The firm has received one report of a battery overheating, though no injuries have been reported at this time. These cone-shaped lanterns are gray with a red handle and were sold at Meijer, Blain, and Fleet Wholesale stores, as well as online at Amazon.com, from January through November 2025 for between $35 and $45. Consumers should immediately stop using these lanterns and contact Energizer for a full refund.
The lithium-ion battery inside the lantern can overheat during use or charging, which poses a serious burn hazard to consumers. Lithium-ion batteries that overheat also present a greater risk of fire compared to standard batteries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lanterns and contact Energizer for instructions on how to receive a full refund. Consumers will be asked to register for the recall by providing proof of the affected date code. Consumers will then be sent prepaid shipping materials to return their recalled lantern. Once the lantern is returned, consumers will be issued a refund. Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance."
